“INVITATION TO BELIEVE IN HIM” Invitation Series: #1

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” ~ John 3:16 (New International Version) By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor1945@gmail.com ______________________________________

We have heard it said, “It doesn’t matter what you believe. It’s how you live your life that counts.” This is simply not true because what we believe determines our path in life. We tend to believe things we can see with our own eyes. We believe the sun will rise in the morning, because we have seen it with our own eyes. We believe the moon will come out at night because we have seen it for ourselves. The disciple Thomas had to see in order to believe that Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus said to him, “… Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29). The only way to see God is through the eyes of faith. In Hebrews 11:1 we read, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” In others words, “We walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). The above verse (John 3:16) is the Gospel of Jesus Christ in one verse. It is a powerful, lifechanging verse which invites us to believe in our Living God, Creator of the universe who died on the cross for our sins, who was raised from the dead and ascended into Heaven. Here is God’s invitation to you. Do you believe God loves you? Do you believe that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross for your sins? Do you believe God has a room in Heaven for all who believe? If so, then you know enough to be saved. Belief in Jesus is more than intellectual assent. It is asking Him to forgive our sins and invite Him into our lives to live. There is no greater life, than life in Christ. There is no greater peace, than peace with God. There is no greater purpose, than fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives. There is no greater path to follow than the path Christ has made for us. The wonderful promise about this path is that it not only gives us direction in this life, but leads us to eternal life.

Prayer: Dear Lord, I will believe in You and follow You all the days of my life. In Your strong name. Amen.

Joseph “Joe” W. PICKETT AGE 71 - ALLEGAN, MI

Joseph “Joe” W. Pickett passed away and went home to be with his Lord on Thursday, July 2, 2026. Joe suffered a massive stroke and brain bleed on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at his home in the early evening. Despite Beacon Allegan and Beacon Kalamazoo’s efforts to save him, his condition severely worsened overnight, and a cure could not be reached. Joe was born on March 6, 1955, to Francis and June Pickett, the eldest of 4 siblings. Joe married his high school sweetheart, Bonnie on June 28, 1975, and they recently celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary. Joe had countless friends, anyone who met him loved him. He was a true patriot and was a walking talking history book and could recite so much it was truly amazing. He knew the Constitution, Bill of Rights and events, dates and timelines. Joe was first a loving son, then an amazing husband and steadfast loyal father that taught and shaped his kids with all he could. He was truly a wonderful loving husband, dad and papa to his family that he always put first and foremost in his life. Joe built so much of Kalamazoo and Allegan during his 40 years of excavating. He was truly a gifted heavy equipment operator. He could operate any piece of equipment and made it look easy. His true passion was farming from childhood to present day. He always said he never worked a day in his life because he loved what he did. Joe graduated from Otsego High School but had fond memories of Hicks Country School just 1 mile away from his home on 26th Street in Allegan where he met his lifelong friend, Gary Rogers who remains his best friend to this day. Joe enjoyed spending time with his neighbors who were like family having bonfires. Joe loved the Lord and studied Biblical Law which he had a passion for. He was an inspiration to all who knew him and would help anyone in need. He’s gone to meet up with his family who have passed on and his best friend Jay Millbocker. Joe will never be replaced, and he will be missed forever and always. Surviving are his loving wife, Bonnie; children, Nikki (Ben) Butcher and Kaleb (Jordan) Pickett; 4 grandchildren, Shelby, Abby, Bianka and Deklin; 1 great-grandchild with another due soon; siblings, Steve (Missy) Pickett, Tom Pickett and Julie (Bret) Andrysiak all of Allegan; nieces and nephews, Tom, Jayce, Drake, Calleigh, Shane, Brandon, Samantha, Holly, CJ and Presley; many great nieces and nephews and his newest “adopted” son, Eric (Codi) DeJong. According to his wishes cremation has taken place. A celebration of Joe’s life will be held from 1-6 PM, Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Joe and Bonnie's home, 39 26th St., Allegan, with a bonfire to follow. Please bring a dish to pass and a chair. Contributions in memory of Joe may be directed to OurUnitedRepublic.com. Arrangements by

ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week!

Meet... STELLA

This cute girl runs on sunshine, zoomies and bellyrubs. She's a confident, playful pup who is known for her boundless energy and enthusiasm for life. At 7 months old, Stella is still working on her basic manners, which means she's the perfect project for someone who loves to watch their furry friend blossom. A little patience, consistency and boundary setting go a long way with this girl, and the payoff will be the most loyal, joyful companion who makes every day a little more sparkly. Stella would thrive with an active person who loves outdoor adventures, someone with dog training experience or willingness to take classes with her, a yard to burn off those glorious zoomies, and possibly a playful dog sibling to keep up with her (she can be selective about her canine companions). She may be a lot. But the best things usually are. The Details: 7 Months Old Mostly dog friendly Appropriate for older kids (13+) No cats
